ADVERTISER SPOTLIGHT<br />
Preserving the Past<br />
While Looking to the Future<br />
Susan Marquez<br />
Greg Johnston has a passion for restoring old homes.<br />
He comes by it naturally, spawning from sentimental reasons.<br />
“My grandparents, Esther and Bower Johnston, retired in the<br />
early 1970s and purchased a turn-of-the-century cottage at<br />
732 Magnolia Street in what is now the center of Madison.”<br />
Both of them loved antiques, and the house near the railroad<br />
tracks was an ideal location to open an antique business.<br />
They called it Williamsburg Antiques, and as a boy, Greg<br />
would cut the grass and gather pecans at the house.<br />
“I had a connection with this area at an early age.”<br />
